Scientists had EU funding withdrawn but public chip in to help following Observer report
Nicola Clayton’s cognitive research work is set to soar again. The Cambridge scientist’s centre for studying the minds of crows, rooks and jays has been saved after the Observer revealed funding cuts were threatening it with closure.
A public appeal has since raised more than £500,000, while Cambridge University has also stepped in to boost support for the Comparative Cognition Laboratory, based in the village of Madingley.
